I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!
I have had asthma since I was a child. Most of the time, it's been well managed. Last year, I had a flare up that coincided with a lung infection that lasted for 6 weeks. It was very difficult for me to deal with and had a big impact on my day to day life.
The Asthma and Lung UK nursing helpline was a valuable source of support. With an 11 month wait to see the respiratory specialist, their help was invaluable. I dread to think how the period would have been without their help. I cannot thank them enough for their support
I'm running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma + Lung UK to make sure that this support is available to others who need it.
Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
Thank you to my Sponsors
